Re: Circular dependency with mariadb el7

Digging a bit more , I found this link :

https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/5902

which states :

I recently added the "galera" and "mariadb-galera" packages to Fedora 
and had epel6 and epel7 branches created. These need to be remove and 
the packages should be purged from the epel repos, if possible. The 
problem is that mariadb-galera-server provides "mysql-server", which is 
technically correct, but so do other packages in base RHEL. ..... and 
since EPEL has a policy of not conflicting with RHEL packages, we 
probably want to keep mariadb-galera-* out of EPEL.

So I had a quick look for other packages to see if another provides 
mysql-server,

root@htpc /home/mythtv # yum whatprovides mysql-server
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
  * base: mirror.optus.net
  * elrepo: mirror.web24.net.au
  * epel: mirror.web24.net.au
  * extras: centos.mirror.crucial.com.au
  * updates: centos.mirror.crucial.com.au
1:mariadb-galera-server-5.5.37-2.el7.x86_64 : The MariaDB server and 
related files
Repo        : installed
Matched from:
Provides    : mysql-server = 1:5.5.37-2.el7

And the only one I could find was mariadb-galera-server .
